2024-02-11T23:49:38+08:00

Halal industry ecosystem is a network of components involved in the growth cycle and delivery of Halal products or services that contribute to the overall socio-economic development. Each

component in the ecosystem has its own unique activities that are interrelated to enhance the

sustainability of the Halal industry. In Halal Industry Master Plan 2030, halal talent is one of the important components in supporting the development of a comprehensive Halal ecosystem in the future through the alignment of the occupational framework. However, it is generally considered that halal talent is represent halal executives and halal auditors who are specific to Muslims only (Malaysian Halal Certification Procedure Manual, 2020). However, many are unaware that there are many job opportunities and career pathways that are closely linked to the halal ecosystem such as laboratory analysts, auditors for laboratory accreditation who conduct sample analysis, standardization committee and consultants who are open to individuals regardless of religious background. Therefore, Institute of Fatwa and Halal took the initiative to design a digital gamification "Halal Vocation Game" which is an edutainment game in order to promote closely related careers in the halal ecosystem as well as empowering halal consumerism knowledge suitable for students and community.

2024-05-04T23:44:29+08:00

The marginalization of domestic workers is a pervasive issue worldwide, particularly evident in Nigeria where these workers face dehumanization and discrimination. This discordance with the Sunnah's core principles necessitates a thorough examination of policies rooted in Islamic teachings to uphold the dignity and labor rights of domestic workers. Employing a methodology blending library research and descriptive analysis, this study systematically collects, organizes, and analyzes pertinent hadiths to illuminate the lexicon within the Sunnah pertaining to domestic workers. Through this process, various concepts and terms emerge, such as 'Asifu,' 'Ajiru,' 'Tabi'u,' 'Kafi,' and 'Khadimu,' delineating the nature and mode of their service. Furthermore, the study establishes a clear distinction between domestic workers and slaves regarding their duties, rights, and freedom. It emphasizes that while domestic workers may provide services of a religious or worldly nature, those rendered solely for financial gain hold no additional reward in this life or the Hereafter. Sunnah principles underscore the protection of domestic workers' legal rights, necessitating clear delineation of their duties and fair compensation, either within contractual terms or customary practices. Additionally, the Sunnah advocates against overworking domestic workers and emphasizes timely wage payment. Recommendations include forgiveness for transgressions and visiting workers during illness, reflecting a compassionate approach. Conversely, domestic workers are expected, according to Sunnah, to fulfill their employment obligations with sincerity. This paper contends that the conscientious adoption of its findings will significantly contribute to safeguarding the labor rights of domestic workers.

The title of the program is Tayammum Trekathon. This approach not only enhances understanding but also fosters a deeper connection to the subject matter. The findings suggest that incorporating interactive activities into teaching Tayammum significantly improves knowledge transfer and student engagement, ultimately enriching the learning experience.

2024-05-03T12:58:44+08:00

The increase in the cost of living gives a huge impact on student spending, especially university students. To support students financially, the government and universities take proactive steps to expand university funding through social funds such as zakat and waqf. This paper aims to explain the governance of zakat management in a public university, namely the Waqf and Zakat Center (PWZ) of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). Zakat management at USIM was then compared with zakat management at the Waqf, Zakat and Endowment Center (WAZAN) of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). This study uses a qualitative approach to gain information and analyse the data for zakat management approach from both universities. The results of the study found that both PWZ and WAZAN have two main committees to manage zakat which involves reporting zakat operations in terms of collection and distribution and making decisions involving policies as well as zakat distribution management within the university. Based on the governance of the two universities, this study suggests that the State Islamic Religious Council and the university's top management give full trust to the university's zakat center to coordinate all zakat-related activities in their respective universities in addition to allowing collections to be made around the university area.
